Boiling Crab Shabang Sauce

Image
The Boiling Crab changed the game by developing an amazing sauce complete with butter, Cajun spices, lemon pepper, tons of garlic— a potent compound that penetrated the food; differing greatly than simply boiling the food in a water bath with spice mix tossed in. The Boiling Crab took the traditional shrimp boil to the next level. I’m not alone. The Boiling Crab spawned a million copycats across the U.S. Every city I’ve been to now has a generic “Cajun Crawfish / Crab Shack” that uses a similar sauce and this was unheard of before The Boiling Crab made is so popular. So here I pay homage to  one of my absolute favorite delights by recreating this banging dish at home. Enjoy it with crawfish, shrimp, clams, crabs… it’s pretty much great slathered on any seafood. INGREDIENTS 25 Large Garlic Cloves, coarsely minced 4 Sticks Unsalted Butter (2 Cups) 2 Tablespoons Cajun Seasoning 2 Tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning 2 Tablespoons Sweet Paprika 4 Teaspoons Lemon Pepper Seasoning 2 Tea

Taco Cabbage Skillet

  Taco Seasoning Ingredients: 2 Tbsps chili powder 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes 1/2 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp paprika 3 tsps ground cumin 2 tsps sea salt 2 tsps ground black pepper Taco Seasoning Instructions: In a small mixing bowl, whisk all ingredients until combined well. Store in an airtight container. To use your homemade spice mix in recipes, start with a smaller sprinkle – taste test to decide the amount of spice for your family’s taste. Usually, 1-2 Tablespoons per pound of ground meat is perfect. Cheese please: Instead of buying pre-shredded cheese, I like to find a block of grass-fed cheese ON SALE and shred it myself. Or have Tristan do it. Many pre-shredded varieties are coated in very strange things (anti-caking & clumping garbage) that actually interfere with the natural texture and melting quality. Be sure to use good quality diced or crushed tomatoes, because that’s where this dish gets its flavor. Ingredients: 2 tsp av
